• Elicit, derive and decompose product requirements and develop the functional architecture using Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
• Integrate capabilities across multi‑discipline design teams to develop an effective and compliant power station design.
• Undertake optioneering to generate design solutions aligned to product‑level requirements.

Essential Skills / Qualifications

We’re looking for someone with:

• Experience in product or system‑level design and integration, solving complex design challenges across multiple systems or disciplines.
• A strong understanding of Systems Engineering tools and techniques, including requirements elicitation and derivation.
• Experience with Capella or other MBSE/requirements tools is desirable.
• An engineering background with experience in nuclear, power generation or another highly regulated industry.
• Strong interpersonal skills and experience working across multi‑disciplined teams to integrate design solutions.
